Unable to pair bluetooth mouse (11.10 regression)

[smlx]

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 11.10
Release: 11.10

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
$ apt-cache policy bluez
bluez:
  Installed: 4.96-0ubuntu4
  Candidate: 4.96-0ubuntu4
  Version table:
 *** 4.96-0ubuntu4 0
        500 http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/ubuntu/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     4.96-0ubuntu3 0
        500 http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/ubuntu/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages

3) What you expected to happen
When I start pairing mode on my bluetooth mouse, Bluedevil pops up a notification. When I click trust and authorise, the mouse should connect to bluetoothd as it did in 11.04.

4) What happened instead
Instead an error appears in syslog:

27/11/11 11:25:42 hpeb bluetoothd[1287] Refusing input device connect: No such file or directory (2)
27/11/11 11:25:52 hpeb bluetoothd[1287] Agent replied with an error: org.bluez.Error.Canceled, Authorization canceled
27/11/11 11:25:52 hpeb bluetoothd[1287] Access denied: Authorization canceled
27/11/11 11:30:09 hpeb bluetoothd[1287] Refusing input device connect: No such file or directory (2)

Note that I also had this issue in Debian Sid/Wheezy, so it appears to be an issue in bluez upstream:

Also the bug appears to have been encountered by at least one other person using 11.10:

Chalk one up for user stupidity. I have fixed this issue by correctly pairing the mouse, rather than using the incorrect pairing procedure as I had done before.

Please close this report as it is not a bug.

Thanks for updating us, I'll mark this as invalid on the Ubuntu side of things.
